Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work!
| I am an Ofsted Registered Nanny! I am reliable, confident, patient, energetic. I will sing, dance, paint, play, read, laugh, cuddle, and be engaged and hands on with the children. I have worked for a number of families as a full time and part time nanny! I have worked with families with only 1 child to as many as 6 children. I also have cared for infant twins before. I have more then 20 years experience working with children and providing professional childcare. I have always loved working with children especially infants and toddlers. It brings me so much joy to work with them at such a key time in their development! Balancing busy schedules, activities and after school clubs, school runs, dinner time and homework help and getting the little ones down for the night! I see my role not just to provide the best childcare possible but to be that extra support parents need. From morning to night and anything in between my joy is helping parents by providing the very best childcare. I look forward to hearing from you.

Very reliable, hands on, no task is too much. Efficient and responsible but still fun.
| I have worked in a school the past year so I have fire training, first aid training and a valid dbs. Having worked closely with children for the past eight years I feel I have a very good insight into all children. I have worked with children with disabilities, language barriers, multiples, large families, newborns through to teens. I like to keep the job exciting and fun for everyone whilst maintaining my responsibility. In my experience childcare jobs only work when you get an instant connection with the family and children. The children need to trust you as much as the parents do!
